2018 was raked by numerous political and economic tensions whose end result was tipped market and dismally performing stocks. On 4th December, most stocks took a hit with some of their prices falling to historical lows that sent most investors to a near panic mode. While they are yet to figure out the immediate cause of the market tumble, most associate it with the recent global events like the mid-term elections, and unpredictable China- U.S relations. But how should investors react to these failing stock prices? Do you sell or wait for the market conditions to improve? Here is Sandy Chin’s advice on how to react to these changing markets:

Remain calm and avoid hasty decisions

Technology stocks fell in the most affected categories with some like Apple falling to record lows. What do you do if a significant portion of your investment is tied in apple stocks? Do you sell them sell them off to avoid possible further losses? Sandy Chin believes that the fact that they have hit all-time lows means that they are less likely to shrink further. Remaining calm and watching them bounce back as they do might, therefore, be the wiser move.

Research on the history of your invested stock

Sandy chin notes that markets have always been susceptible to political and economic tensions. This explains the great depression of 1929, the dot-com bubble burst at the beginning of the millennium and the most recent real estate crisis in 2008.

She is, however, quick to add that it has always found a way of recovering from these situations. Chin is also a strict adherer of the history repeats itself line of thinking. She, therefore, holds the opinion that by studying the historical performances of thee stocks and their reaction to market turbulence, you get a better idea on how long it takes for your invested stock to bounce back to healthy trading prices.

Consult more experienced traders

In addition to studying the stocks, you have to understand the markets by listening to more opinions from experienced traders. Pay particular attention to their market forecasts, however, dissenting these opinions may seem. But most importantly, consult with as many experts as possible as this helps you gain a better understanding of the market.

Sandy Chin, however, argues that industry expertise and experience shouldn’t be tied to the years a perceived trader has in the trade. She argues that there are several young traders out there with more accurate interpretations of the market and whose opinions shouldn’t be cast aside as soon they dissent from the veteran’s point of view.

How Stream Energy is Practicing Corporate Social Responsibility in Dallas, Texas

Corporate social responsibility has always been part of a self-indulging business model that assists a corporation to be socially accountable to the public, stakeholders, and its management. Through participating in corporate social responsibility, companies win client’s hearts because more often than not, it has been proven that millennials like to be part of a business that supports the community. Lately, one company that has indulged in corporate social responsibility is Stream Energy.

About Stream Energy

In 2005, Rob Snyder joined Pierre Koshakji to establish Stream Energy. At first, the firm provided energy services strictly in Texas. This was during the deregulation of electricity in the area. After three years, the firm expanded to Georgia then Northeast. It also started selling electric as well as gas energy services across ten states. Washington, DC was one of the states. In 2015, the company began providing mobile phone services. This unit of services was known as Stream Wireless.

Growth and Development

In 2017, Stream shifted its office to Tollway Center. Since then, the company has signed up with different independent investors including those who are interested in joining the multi-level marketing branch to supply energy services and products to the community. Aside from that, Stream indulges in community projects. If you remember Hurricane Harvey, then you are probably aware of the damages it caused to the people of Dallas. Not only did some lose their loved ones but also property. While some companies came forward to support victims, Stream Energy’s contribution stood out from the rest. The firm called upon its management to rally contributions from employees and business associates.

Philanthropy

In an article posted on Patch, Stream stands out as a philanthropic company that cares for the society. In the past, it founded an organization called Stream Cares. Through this firm, the management has offered useful charitable services to those who need physical and emotional support. Typically, corporate giving is part of Stream Energy’s DNA. The company dedicates part of its income to creating programs that support the less fortunate. Through these programs, the firm has attracted clients and stakeholders from different walks of life.

Ted Bauman lives in Atlanta, GA with his family. He grew up in eastern Maryland, but was born in Washington, D.C. He is the editor for The Bauman Letter, Alpha Stock Alert and Plan B Club, for the Banyan Hill Publishing Company. He joined the Banyan Hill Publishing in 2013 and specializes in international migration, privacy, asset protection and low-risk investment strategies.

Ted has devoted his life to helping people. He found the resources they needed to lead an independent life, free from all business greediness and governmental controls. As a young man Ted Bauman left the United States and went to South Africa. He graduated from the University of Cape Town. He did postgraduate work earning his degree in History and Economics. Back in the states by 1999-2001, Ted earned his MBA at Georgia State University.

Working for numerous nonprofit corporations in South Africa, Ted spent 25 years building his career in executive positions. He primarily handled low-cost housing projects as a fund manager. Ted Bauman helped to establish the Slum Dwellers Internationals. He is proud of his work in the project, and the fact that Slum Dwellers has now expanded to over 35 different countries and has helped over 14 million people.

Bauman writes about how the bitcoin has plenty of room in our society. People can pay their bills without the unwanted eyes of the government watching. The big problem is if you have to pay a bill right away, like when you are leaving a parking garage, to pay for the time you spent park there. The machine accepts cryptocurrency alright, but the catch is, bitcoin takes time to go through the channels to make the payment. Most times it goes through right away. There will come a time when almost everyone will have to wait for the payment to clear. It could be an hour or more. This is what could be the downfall of the bitcoin.

Bryan Hill Publishing advises investors on investment advice. They train investors to be independent and how to learn to make the sound decisions in planning their own financial future. A big part of their learning is to follow the advice Ted Bauman gives in his publications.

Kerrisdale Capital Management founder and Chief Investment Officer Sahm Adrangi has a long and successful career in the financial industry. Before he founded Kerrisdale he worked for Deutsche Bank, Chanin Capital Partners and Longacre Fund Management. Investment management outfit Kerrisdale Capital is based in New York and focuses on making investments that have a lot of value in the area of public securities. Along with the Sam Adrangi, the firm also enjoys the expert executive leadership of Chief Financial Officer Edward Gu and Head of Marketing and Investor Relations Peter Baer. Sahm Adrangi has recently had the duty of reporting some negative findings regarding several different companies. The first was real estate development operationthe St. Joe Company and the second one was marketing firm QuinStreet.

Sahm Adrangi’s negative position regarding the St. Joe Company revolves around the company making exaggerated claims about the market value of a major development project in Florida. The St. Joe Company has placed a valuation of $1 billion in regard to its development project in remote and swampy areas of Panama City Beach, Florida. The project has been ongoing for years and yet there has been little accomplished. Sahm Adrangi points out the fact that St. Joe’s investors have suffered under what is hard to describe as anything other than a debacle and they will in all likelihood be waiting a lot longer still.

Sahm Adrangi has also recently put out another negative report, this time in regard to marketing outfit QuinStreet. Sahm’s criticism largely revolves around a very suspect pattern of fake traffic that has been present on QuinStreet’s proprietary network. QuinStreet’s investors have recently been energized by the idea that the outfit is moving towards an advantageous position but Sahm Adrangi cautions against this and paints a picture of QuinStreet being an organization that is lacking in many areas.

OSI’s CEO and Chairman, Sheldon Lavin, was pointed to as being responsible for much of the company’s success. Not only did he win a Global Visionary Award, which recognized his hard work over the years and was presented by India’s Vision World Academy, but he also was instrumental in taking OSI from its domestic roots to the global multi-billion dollar food company that it is now. Before coming aboard with OSI, Lavin worked in the finance industry where he found plenty of success. He has taken everything he learned then and what he has learned during his time with OSI and is now working to help the company to continue its expansion in the United States as well as the rest of the world.

One of OSI Group’s most recent expansion moves is its purchasing of a Tyson Foods plant that was in the process of being shut down. As part of the shut down, many employees of Tyson were set to lose their jobs, but OSI came in and offered many of these soon to be ex-employees of Tyson jobs within its new facility. The facility is located in the southside of Chicago, and OSI Group purchased it for $7.4 million. It is expected that the 200,000 square-foot facility will help to expand the company’s offerings and support its other Chicago-based facility.

OSI Group expects to continue its expansion overseas and in the United States, and as an American food company, it is looking to maintain the standard of quality and excellence it has been providing for all of these years.

Randy Ray and Wendy Lewis built their career as a health-and-beauty power couple over the course of decades. The couple had founded dozens of the top businesses in the direct-marketing, health and beauty industries, growing them from scratch into dominant enterprises and sharpening their entrepreneurial claws in the process. Both Ray and Lewis had a deep passion for what they did, and it readily showed in the pride they took and the skill they deployed in their work.

When Ray and Lewis finally decided to retire in 2009, they believed that they could walk away from the business that they loved so much. For those who knew the couple well, it may not have been surprising, then, that they only made it a couple of weeks before quickly deciding to retire from retirement. Ray and Lewis, beset by boredom, started selling a few beauty products out of the couple’s sprawling Florida mansion. Before long, they were each spending in excess of 50 hours per week on their fledgling company. They called it Jeunesse Global.

Now, nine years later, Jeunesse Global is rapidly becoming one of the most important direct marketers of health and beauty products in the world today. The company has been phenomenally adept at finding unmet market gaps that the big names in health and beauty have neglected, then filling those gaps with some of the most effective and innovative products that the world has ever seen.

One such product is the company’s Nevo energy drink. Unlike most of its competitors, Nevo is made from all-natural ingredients. This gives the energy drink a flavor more akin to freshly squeezed tropical fruit juice than the chemical-infused metallic taste that so many energy drinks yield. But Nevo doesn’t sacrifice any of its punch at the all-natural altar. On the contrary, the energy drink delivers a clean, smooth energy boost that often feels more like the natural high one might get from exercise than the jittery angst one gets from a pure caffeine jolt.

Nevo is a drink that strongly appeals to the health conscious. With its all-natural ingredients and great taste, Nevo is tough competition.
